We loved working with ADU and here's why:…read more 1) communication process is flawless: every single step was explained, free estimate was provided, the samples were delivered. We received calls and emails from office every time we needed to be notified about the crew coming or any changes. Malesa is terrific! 2) craftsmanship: the deck Chris and the team built us is immaculate! The attention to details is amazing! We were impressed (and note both my husband and I are rather picky and demanding), not a single "could you double check/fix/or whatever" comment was uttered. 100% great job done 3) trust and expertise - no doubt about these two here. Would definitely hire again for any other carpentry project we'll have in the future. I wish we met more contractors like Chris and co, seriously they raise the bar so high. Of course, I'd recommend them to anyone

When they finally finished, the porch was not worth the $50k they charged. Brand new seamless gutters weren't re-installed correctly and, per Chris's less-than-helpful instructions, I needed to call a gutter company and have them come fix it - evidently existing gutters somehow weren't included in ADU's price? I'd stay away from Austin's Decks Unlimited unless you're in the market for continuous headaches.

Sylvester is an old school Austin type of contractor that can do a little bit of everything. He…read morecares deeply about the quality and craftsmanship of his work and he invests the time and energy that it takes to get the job done right. He was a great collaborator with me on a pretty complicated bathroom renovation project and he went above and beyond to make sure that we stayed on budget and were happy with the results. I would definitely recommend Sylvester for your next home improvement project.

We can't speak highly enough of A.R. Lucas and our experience working with his team on our remodel…read moreand addition. We met with a number of contractors and felt that Adam's experience and style was the best fit for our Crestview home. Adam is super responsive, patient (I was pregnant at the time and probably not the easiest client ever :), and has fantastic subcontractors--we trusted and truly enjoyed getting to know everyone that worked on the house. Whenever you tell someone you're remodeling, you typically get a gasp and a "Good luck! How long until you move back in? Plan for twice that." We were nervous. Our experience could not have been more opposite--Adam finished on time and within our budget, another shocker based feedback from everyone else in the world that's done a remodel. 5 stars would hire for our next project!

Our architect recommended A.R. Lucas Construction for our add-on project and we could not have been…read morehappier. Prior to construction, we worked closely with our architect and Adam to ensure the project could be completed on budget. Throughout the project Adam provided frequent expense and progress reports. As this was our first construction project, we were filled with uneducated questions and concerns. Adam and his team were impressive, kind and patient in handling all our questions. They made us feel very comfortable coming to them with anything. Andrew was our main lead for the day-to-day and did a great job keeping all the subs moving and on track. The craftsmanship work that A.R. Lucas designed and crafted are beautiful and unique, and definitely my most favorite parts of the add-on. We were drawn to A.R. Lucas Construction for their craftsmanship, attention to detail and budget insight. Adam, Andrew and their team were a lot of fun to work with; it was a comfortable, collaborative and rewarding experience. We will most certainly reach out to them for our future projects.

I cannot say enough good things about Pedro Carrion from Pedro the Handy Man…read more We had a 120 sq. foot job in Pflugerville where we needed to have some carpet removed and tile installed. Initially we contracted with another company who flaked out after 3 weeks of delays in starting. In hindsight this was probably the best thing that could have happened. I got Pedro's contact information from a neighbor who used his services and made a call. I spoke with Dee and from that conversation I knew this was the right company. She mentioned several considerations about the installation that the other company didn't bring up or simply didn't know to bring up. Many of Dee's suggestions made perfect sense and the job is much nicer for her suggestions. Pedro came over to give us a solid quote and we discussed several details about how we wanted to job to look and he was able the start the next day. Pedro was extremely courteous and right on time. Both he and Dee were great with communicating via text and email and were very reasonable on their prices. Pedro was very detail oriented and diligent about his work. The install is straight and level, looks amazing, and his attention to details is readily apparent. Most importantly the wife is thrilled. At the end of the day the job was completed promptly and beyond our satisfaction. I will absolutely use Pedro again on our next job and would 100% recommend him. www.pedrothehandyman.com Paul Morgan

Looks like you are using Yelp to find goods and services? Good idea! There are many services out…read morethere and many companies and people that hope to offer you those services, and for most of recorded history one would be at the mercy of a random finger in the yellow pages. Not anymore, power as it were, now rests in the hands of the people. I needed 3 things; A dumpster rental, a quote and information regarding getting said dumpster to my house. So I turned to Yelp and used the quote system and at the ended up with about four quotes. But I had many questions, and Danny was very quick on the response, quoted me a fair price and allowed the dumpster rental for 20 days which was a BIG plus for me. Did I mention he answered my questions promptly? Look, I have dealt with the murky depths of contractors and callbacks...not a good time. Danny shattered my expectations and what's more, on the day of the delivery I had to check status of the dumpster due to working from home that day and having to be on a conference call I could not leave. Danny got back to me in minutes, contacted the driver and had the driver quote me an updated delivery time which I was able to coordinate with my schedule. Imagine that? Working with MY schedule...Great Job Danny. Bottom line, call Danny and see what I mean. I have some floor work coming my way in the future, guess who just put himself at the top of that list? 5STARS!!!

Danny and his team can literally do anything. We had a slab leak that had to be repaired and…read morererouted through our ceiling, and in the midst of that we found out we had a leaky shower pan and a LOT of water damage. Danny came out and gave me a quote that was detailed, fair and easy to understand. We ended up having to rip out most of our master bath. (The shower floor, half way up the shower walls and an entire wall down to the studs.) I also had a few other projects around the house that I kept adding on, and Danny never minded and always reworked the over all costs for us. They patched the sheetrock in the ceiling and a 6 other places in the walls, completely re-sheetrocked one wall, demo'd our shower, finally sloped the shower floor correctly (it never drained properly before!), matched the tile/grout seamlessly, installed a new vanity, reinstalled a vanity in the guest bath correctly, fixed my back door, built a banister and took an old nasty crawl space under the stairs and helped me turn it into a "hidey hole" for my son. Having a one year old and going through a home renovation like this was stressful. Danny and his guys made it so much easier. They talked to my kid, waved at him, kept their work space as clean as they could during a demo..They were even respectful of nap times! We have to redo our siding on our house soon and Danny is the only one I will be contacting. No other quotes needed.
